Dandelion Vineyards 'Lionheart of the Barossa' Shiraz 2021 Review
Winemaker Elena Brooks is a rising star in Australian wine. This bold yet focused Shiraz from Barossa shows that it’s time to bring this style of wine back into our collective drinking culture. It’s big and fruit-forward with some wood char and plums on the nose. Even a hint of coffee swims up to say hey. It has a great palate with ripe fruit and good acidity to break up the depth. A slight bitter note on the finish adds to the complexity. Welcome back Shiraz! Thanks, Elena!
